A member asked:

I did lever function test in which ast value is 55 now please guide me how to decrease the ast values?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ast: One mildly elevated AST should not overly concern you. However, avoid acetaminophen and alcohol especially together. Statins, a type of cholesterol lowering medication and Anti-inflammatories can also elevate AST. Make these changes if relevant and repeat the test in 3-6 mos
